Dark and Lovely - Au Naturale Hair Rescue Intensive Repairing Mask -250ml
Amla and avocado are the two oils doing the work here, and they are picked for different reasons. Amla, pressed from Indian gooseberry, is high in vitamin C and leaves a real gloss on the hair. Avocado oil is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E, and unlike most oils it gets past the cuticle rather than sitting on the surface of it.
That combination is why this reads as a repair mask rather than a moisturiser. It puts lipids back into hair that heat tools, weather and rough handling have stripped, and the difference shows up as softness and manageability rather than as a coating you can feel.
- For natural hair worn down by heat styling and rough handling
- Amla oil for shine, avocado oil for lipids that reach inside the strand
- Leaves hair soft and quick to work through
- 250ml tub, waves through to 3c curls

Application tips
A mask on drenched hair dilutes to nothing, so shampoo and then squeeze the water out before you start.
Spread it thickly from the ears down, leaving the roots alone, then clip the hair up and cover it. Twenty minutes is the working minimum, and heat makes a visible difference, so a warm towel or a hooded dryer is worth the trouble. Weekly while the hair is in poor shape, then fortnightly.
Results
The change is in how the hair behaves rather than how it looks in the mirror. Sections that used to knot on contact stay separate, ends stop catching on jumpers, and a comb passes through in one go.
Dull, heat worn lengths pick up a real gloss. Repeat it across a month and the hair holds moisture between washes instead of drying out by the next day.
